Dungeon Defender Sells 250,000 (80% of Sales Come from Only One Platform)

The little co-op tower defense action game that could, Dungeon Defenders, has achieved 250,000 sales. PC gamers came up with the bulk of the sales, with the PC alone giving Dungeon Defnders 200,000 sales, while the rest of the 50,000 sales being divided up among Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 gamers.

See if console gamers would stop pirating the games, they wouldn't see such low numbers. (oh wait, bad logic?) This points the good thread of indie and medium developers focusing more on PC as leads and even leaving the console platforms.

Only big corporate publishers can afford the huge expense of console development and releases and it seems console gamers are less prone to trying out other games, other then the AAA-budget games.

Not worth it at $15, thats the only reason why i havent bought it off PSN yet, should be $9 or $8

That game is horrible.

Seriously if you havent played Bastion yet, get it instead, its a master piece.

I actually find that funny since most console games are 60 and most PC games are 50.

Unless its Blizzard or EA sadly -_-

I dunno if the numbers would've been different if they didn't include the TF2 pets.

Good to see it selling well! :D

I did personally enjoy Orcs Must Die a bit more, but both are pretty wicked.

This game and Teraria sold pretty awesome this year

Console gamers have good taste in games? What else is new... :|

Even if was possible to pirate XBLA/PSN games, no one would waste their bandwith downloading this mediocre game.

It reminds me how Breath of Death and Ctulhu saves the world sold more on steam in a week than on xbox live in a year and a half lol.Arach666

Some people like to toss these instances under the table :lol:

How much is in PC? PC has this ridiculous sales all the time and games end up costing like 1, 2 or 3 dollars. Consolites don't get such great deals.kuraimen

I got mine for 9 dollars on Direct2Drive.

It was 13 before release on Steam, now it's 15.

Alot of people dont like COD but even more LOVE it

Have Tower Defense games ever been very popular on consoles though? The only one I think did well was Plants vs Zombies and, and I only remember it doing well on iOS.

Anyway, real men play Pokemon Tower Defense :cool:

Go check Steampowered.com. Only a couple of new release games are $59.99. Games like Arkham City, Stronghold 2, Heroes VI are launching for $49.99 (from the main page).

I wonder about the 300k pirated copies on the pc *this is the least amount likely that was pirated* and sorry but dungeon defender is mediocre in the sea of tower defense games available on psn and xbox live... *goes back to the superior toy soldiers cold war*

Not worth it at $15, thats the only reason why i havent bought it off PSN yet, should be $9 or $8

finalstar2007

You sure about that? My friends who got the game have spent 45 hours on it so far.. And they are not slowing down.. Thats pretty much more time spent then most full retail games..

Piracy is still a big problem on the PC platform no matter how you want to try and spin it. Piracy in general is a problem but Developers have a harder time on PC. Such is the nature of an open platform.AiurProtoss

No it isn't.. Developers like the ones for Witcher 2 have shown they can be profitable with little to no copy write.. And int eh end piracy is a EMPTY figure.. There is no telling if the people would buy it or not if they couldn't pirate it.

FYI, the assertion made here is incorrect.

That's 250K split between the PC and console versions of the game. The PC had 200K, PSN and XBLA had 50K.

However, "Trendy had already sold more than a million smartphone downloads before releasing the console versions." (http://www.gainesville.com/article/20111027/ARTICLES/111029598)
